Therapy approaches used by Chum psychologists
Different therapy approaches organise sessions in different ways. You do not need to choose a technical method alone. Explore approaches documented in Chum therapist profiles, then discuss fit, goals and alternatives with your clinician.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) →CBT is a structured, collaborative therapy that explores how thoughts, emotions and actions influence one another.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) →DBT combines acceptance and change strategies, with skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) →ACT helps people make room for difficult internal experiences while taking actions guided by personal values.EMDR Therapy →EMDR is a structured trauma therapy that uses bilateral stimulation while a trained clinician guides memory processing.Mindfulness-Based Therapy →Mindfulness-based approaches build present-moment awareness and a less reactive relationship with thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations.Play Therapy →Play therapy uses developmentally appropriate play and creative expression to help children communicate and work through emotional or behavioural concerns.Family Therapy →Family therapy looks at interaction patterns, roles and relationships so family members can understand one another and respond differently.Couples Therapy →Couples therapy provides a structured space to understand conflict cycles, rebuild communication and make informed relationship decisions.Solution-Focused Brief Therapy →SFBT is a goal-directed approach that identifies strengths, exceptions and practical next steps rather than examining every part of a problem.Motivational Interviewing →Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversational approach for exploring ambivalence and strengthening a person’s own reasons for change.Trauma-Focused CBT →Trauma-focused CBT combines cognitive-behavioural methods with developmentally sensitive trauma processing, often involving caregivers for younger clients.Art Therapy-Informed Support →Art-based therapeutic work uses creative expression to explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words.Behavioural Therapy →Behavioural therapy focuses on learned patterns, triggers and consequences, then uses practical exercises to build more helpful behaviour.Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) →ERP is a specialised form of CBT that helps people face OCD triggers gradually while resisting compulsive responses.Person-Centred Therapy →Person-centred therapy emphasises empathy, authenticity and acceptance, allowing clients to explore experience at their own pace.Integrative and Eclectic Therapy →Integrative therapy draws thoughtfully from more than one model so the work can fit a client’s goals, context and response over time.
Need medical assessment or medication support?
Chum also works with qualified psychiatrists. A psychiatrist can assess medical factors and prescribe medication when clinically appropriate.
